Yesterday, Friday July 15th was the last episode of InfoMania!

Don't know what it is? Shocker. Apparently only about 40 thousand people each week watched it.

It was a show on channel 19(6?) on CurrenTv from 2007-2011. It's premise was to take a critical look at news and pop culture... and spoof the hell out of it. Bryan Safi examined gay issues on "That's Gay", Erin Gibson took up women's issues on "Modern Lady", Sergio Cili critiqued popular music in "The White Hot Top 5", Ben Hoffman... did alot of things... ranted, made fun of people, critiqued technology. Not really my favorite, but hey he was a part of the show. And Brett Erlich took Connor Knighton's spot as the show's MC as well as hosting "Viral Video Film school" which scours youtube to find crazy-ass videos on a certain subject to be presented each week.

While I don't think one could have used that show solely as a news feed of the world, honestly it was just fun to watch these people on screen doin their thing. They got alot of sincere and up-ROARIOUS laughter out of me.

Seeing the last episode was really, really sad for me. I got a little misty eyed.
It was the same feeling I have on New Years Eve. Or when finishing a book. Or saying goodbye to a friend. It was the closing on a story. What was once alive is now dead.

I know it might seem silly but, I wonder what the lives of the people both on the set and behind the scenes will be like now. I hope they'll be happy. Even though we didn't know each other, these were all talented people and they gave me something to look forward to and enjoy each week.

Goodbyes are always hard for me, but they are bittersweet. With the music concluding, one may finally decide how one liked the song. Goodbyes are the "=" sign in a math problem that let you take all factors into an account to come up with an answer of what "is". Goodbyes and severences are the frames on a picture that let us digest, assess and come to peace with the art within.

As sad as I am to Infomania go, now that it's over I can say with conviction that it was a very good show. And I can testify of it to others with confidence.

I wish all the people on the show and behind the scenes long and fruitful futures and hope they know I am grateful to them for all the years of entertainment and insight. Thanks everyone!
